Naked Gun 2 ½: The Smell of Fear (1991)
Three years after the original film Leslie Nielsen returns as bumbling police detectice Frank Drebin. President Bush has hired a professor to advise on the future of US energy policy and the big oil, coal and nuclear companies are out to get him.
It was always going to be hard to keep up with the break neck speed of gags in the original film and while this film still includes plenty of funny moments it does fall short on the quantity. What the film does well is still have a few classic jokes as well as not rely on call backs to the original which is often a problem with comedy sequels. Fans of the first film will certainly enjoy this film even if it does fall slightly short in comparison.
3/5
